Twilight Theater Company purchased a motorized stair climber that makes their space accessible to wheelchair bound actors, volunteers and audience members and assists others who have difficulty climbing stairs. The accessibility provides support and entertainment to those who may be unable to participate without it, and creates a way for the theater to connect with more of the community.

Awnings were installed over the windows and door of this local doggie day care, improving the facade of the building and giving the neighborhood a fresh new look.
